Appreciate any help.

Just out of curiosity, who is buying these BP cars?

Individuals, companies?

Thanks for any assistance.

Thanks to OP for starting this thread.

I have been reading it with zeal as I am in the same situation.

Thanks for all the positive posters. BACs post was spot on.

PS: I have been in the US since 86. I came home last week for a party and I suddenly had a moment of clarity. I need to come back home but with a business plan.

Thanks once again.

Thanks for taking time to answer my queries.

I am assuming that there're exceptions to people returning home to live. Or do I have to get rid of my personal classic cars and purchase newer models?

   You mean like the guy in these photos (that i took myself) at a tourist square in Barcelena ?
Well, but the commentator is not from Norway, he definetely has got a north American accent.

Well to be honest at least these chap appears to be alive.

I saw two decomposing human bodies in Ibadan two weeks ago. One was in the divider across from Zenith Bank in Challenge in Ibadan for about 5 days. Another one in the "exclusive" GRA section.

I have pictures but it will serve no editorial value here.

First rule of thumb. Don't assume that because they are in the US that they suddenly have gained some level of high level customer service.

It took me repeated tries, alternating numbers, begging for help, getting abused by some receptionist, before I could get my passport renewed.

Moral of the story is tenacity.

Any thoughts?

This is very correct, i am an Airfrance customer or a fan (depending on how you look at at), and each time i'm travelling Dublin-Lagos, Lagos-Dublin, we usually get to board the planes by bus.

Nice to see another loyalist.

I like Alitalia and used it exclusively when I was still travelling between Nigeria and Europe.

I don't really feel AF, partly due to the Concorde incident. I purchased a Delta flight but they used AF as they are SkyTeam partners.

Charles de gaulle
Madrid barajas
Zurich airport

Remember that I said that "I" haven't been to one.

I was at Charles De Gaulle on Thursday morning and I wasn't bussed.


You can clearly see the ramps (upper and lower) for our Airbus A380 to San Fransisco.



I was at Zurich in the early 90s and I was never bussed, perhaps it's a new system.

I haven't had the pleasure of visiting Spain by aircraft yet.

Some personal opinions.

I have no qualms with the views of the presenter. He expressed his own opinion and I actually share about 90% of it. He did not at any point compare Lagos to any other city.

I haven't been to any international airport where they have to bus you to your airplane.

Jetliners can back up from the gate but it's insane and ridiculous. The only one I've ever heard from was an empty cargo plane that was backed up from a gate (why it was at a gate is unknown) and the maintenance crew (not aPilot) was tired of waiting for the ground crew to tow him to the hangar for repairs so he fired it up. (I'll try to find the news article).

As far as being towed to the gate, I think it's ridiculous. Not sure why MMA is doing that.

motocross:

Thanks for your offer.
I will be grateful for your assistance. Have you attended a motocross event in the US before? I need the specificied bikes for the Senior Category and their price ranges.

I regularly attend motocross races but mostly support friends. I am more into on road racing with higher horsepower bikes with more trap speeds.

There is no Senior category per see.

For your track, based on design, you can specify engine limit. So to start with you can say 250ccc is Senior class, or maybe even 150cc and as more folks join in and invest more in bikes then you can raise the level of the class.

A brand new 2012 Honda CRF450 MSRPs at $8,5k, while a CRF150 is only $5k so you can start seeing the reasoning behind class suggestion. Of course used bikes are plentiful and significantly cheaper. Most folks in the US get into the hobby with aplomb and after 2 or 3 rides and the hospital bills from broken legs, etc they sell the bikes off really cheap.

If you want to start by providing/renting your bikes for your facility I suggest that you look into preowned motorcycles. being off road vehicles they will get trashed quickly anyways though you can replace the plastics frequently.

One more note, may I suggest that you configure your track for multi usage as opposed to strictly motocross? With very little effort, you can convert the track to other uses during the off seasons.

Sorry one more thing, I will be interest in leasing certain exclusive rights if available such as trackside advertising or selling refreshments or spare parts.

Let me know as you have further questions.

Feel free to email me via my profiel email address, I haven't something to discuss with you offline.

I have some pictures of Lagos, Ibadan and Ijebu-Ode, as well as travel between those three points on my photography site. It will be under the events section.

Just in case anyone wants to feel homesick

QuickSilver.OsiTech.Net

I can help on the US side to source bikes.

I can't understand what you typed.

Please rephrase as it's an important subject matter to me.

Pardon me for my confusion.

13 plots = 2 acres, yes?
Is it N700 thousand per plot or N700 thousand for all 13 plots (2 acres)?

Additionally, do you have a google satellite image of this land?

All I have is contact info.

Thanks for the response.

Can I bring a complete older vehicle in strictly for parts or does it have to be dismantled?

What are my safe and economical options?

My ex Wife and I are very good friends and we hang out quite a bit (been divorced for over 15 years) but I won't attend her wedding as a matter of principle.

I was also able to get the new ECOWAS passport in Ibadan in two days. I have the contact info for a friendly person at Ibadan Immigration if needed.

This fluctuates of course but I was able to buy N165 for $1 at Sabo two weeks ago. The banks wanted N152 for $1.

I just came back from my trip to Ibadan.

As advised above, the roads are ubber dangerous. DO NOT travel at night on Lagos-Ibadan road.

I'll email you.

@HOUSE: Please, I need to connect with Nairalanders in California (San Francisco)? Who is heading there? Who is there?


Also, does anyone have an idea of where to get cheapest flight? Royal Air Maroc? Do they have an office in Lagos? The cheapest I have found is Emirates. Need some help?

Expecting,

I'm in California but Los Angeles.

Let me know what you need.

naijafresh:

For me, this is simple: TERMITES!

Do you think they will treat the timber frame adequately in Nigeria?

Where will you find the expertise to construct timber frames?

Yes, I think they can treat timber adequately in Nigeria and I will be doing the construction myself.

First of all we will have to clearly define Africans and African Americans.

Secondly, what Mr. Globe stated is kaka. There are people from various races in the USA doing odd jobs.

Is there an age limit for cars entering Nigeria, legally.
